When the little ones had formed by col
| umns of two they were marched in and past
the bier, and by their bright clothing and
quiet awe gave another phase to the scene
of solemnity in the duskv interior. The
children seemed each to have a personal at

than one youthful pair of eyes was bathed in
tears at the first glimpse of the peaceful face
in the eofIin After the children-number-
ing 500 or more-had passed, there was an
other influx of people which continued for
several hours.
1t is estimated that fully $3.50 people at
tended services in the various churches, and
that fully twice that number were gathered
in the street in the neighborhood of Plymouth
church.
At the First Baptist church Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage made the principal address
